    What's the story

    Italian superbike maker Ducati will be launching the Ducati Multistrada 1260 on June 19 in India.

    The new Multistrada, which replaces the Ducati Multistrada 1200, gets a slightly larger motor, a reworked chassis, and plenty of new features.

    Internationally, the flagship tourer is available in four variants but only the standard Multistrada 1260 and Multistrada 1260 S will enter the India market.

    Here's more.

    Engine and Power

    The Ducati Multistrada range gets a larger 1262cc motor

    The Ducati Multistrada line-up gets the 1262cc DVT Testastretta engine which has been revised to gain more displacement, power, torque and meet emission regulations.

    The twin-cylinder motor, mated to a six-speed gearbox, is tuned to deliver a power of 158bhp at 9,750rpm and a peak torque of 129.5Nm at 7,500rpm.

    The motorcycle will require oil changes after every 15,000kms and valve adjustments after 30,000kms.

    The Multistrada 1260 gets new chassis, updated brakes and suspension

    The Ducati Multistrada 1260 gets a fully-adjustable 48mm Kayaba inverted fork and fully-adjustable Sachs rear shockers.

    The motorcycle also comes with a new chassis and longer swingarm for improved maneuverability.

    For braking performance, the adventure bike gets Brembo Monobloc radial calipers with four pistons holding dual 320mm discs at the front and a single 265mm Brembo disc with a floating clamp at the rear.

    Information

    While retaining the characteristic design of the Multistrada range, the upcoming motorcycle gets new side panels and redesigned alloy wheels. The standard Multistrada 1260 variant retains the LCD screen for instrumentation while the S model offers a full-color TFT instrument panel.

    Driving and Control

    The Ducati flagship motorcycle gets several electronic driving aids

    While retaining the electronic rider aids of the previous version, the upgraded Ducati Multistrada 1260 gets a new ride-by-wire electronic throttle system, an eight-level Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control, and Cruise control.

    The motorcycle offers four riding modes namely Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro and each mode has its own settings for traction control, DWC, and Anti-lock Braking System.
